Both tablets carry an IP68 certification for dust and water resistance.
Core Processing and Software Longevity
Under the hood, both models are powered by a 3-nanometer MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor. The internal configuration pairs this chipset with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of onboard storage, which can be expanded further via microSD cards up to 2TB.

Software support is anchored by One UI 9.0 running on top of Android 17 straight out of the box. Samsung has committed to extensive software longevity for the lineup, promising up to seven generations of operating system upgrades and security patches. Productivity tools are bolstered by native Galaxy AI utilities such as Note Assist, accompanied by a six-month complimentary trial of Google AI Pro.
